Ann Marie Auricchio’s work examines the psychological dimensions of disruption and renewal, where collapse becomes generative. Saturated, dynamic color intensifies contrast and drives the work into shifting states. Through a process rooted in collage and reconstruction, she dismantles and reassembles fragments from her archive, carrying forward the DNA of past gestures into new forms. Each painting operates as a distillation, holding accumulated marks, time, and motion within a single surface. Drawing from geological and atmospheric phenomena, the work reflects internal states of flux and re-formation. Departing from the rectangle, each painting takes on an irregular structure, where fragmented elements are reorganized into new configurations, and what appears broken retains the potential for coherence.
